Sung Lie, a bias-eyed heather
who claims the person of a celestial
heather named All Kan as a por-
ton of his "goods and chattels, F"
was arrested by Constable Mourn
ing last Monday and taken before
Justice Peck on a charge of assault
and battery upon the aforesaid All
Kan. The prisoner had a number
of witnesses ready to testify that
he had always treated the young
maiden in the most decorous man
ner and sung more lies to the square
inch than even expected of the av-
erage heather when in the presence
of the court. 1t was plainly evil
dent that the woman was badly
scared and afraid to testify, but
when the friends of the prisoner
were sent out of the room she told
q plain unvarnished tale of cruel
wrong and personal injuries inhict-
ed upon her. The Judge decided
that Sung Lie needed quiet and re-
pose and fined him 500, who, not
being able to raise the amount, was
sent to Jail for fifty days, disguised
with country that interferes with
a man for whipping woman after
having bought and paid for her.
The services of "Charlie Wing
were brought into requisition as
interpreter and being detected in
framing answers to the questions
asked the woman, to make them
appear favorable to the defendant
Judge Peck fined him $40 and costs,
amounting to $1,000, for his Off
ciOusness, which he paid.

During the early part of the week
a milk COW belonging at the Phil
adelphia works, tired of the monot-
ony of her surroundings. made
up her mind to take a spring ram
BILE and ascertain if the bovine fam
lily in town had survived the rigors
of the inclement winter months. So
well pleased she appeared with her
visit that no evidence of a desire on
her part to return home was shown.
The vagabond life she was living
appeared to please her and it did
not take long for her to ascertain
where she could find her fodder.
On Monday she paid a visit to
Horace Lewis house and while
pursuing her researches there found
herself SO tightly wedged between
the house and woodshed that she
remained fixture. Several parties
tried to extricate the animal but
without success when Hillory
Strange, employed upon the ranch
of Judge Lewis, took a hand in ex-
polling the intruder. Going be-
tween the two houses he ordered
the cow to back just at the time the
animal had made up her mind to
go forward. She did SO and caught
Strange OH one of her horns and
sent him spinning around her head
like whirligig at country fair.
1t was a narrow escape for the
young man, as the horn of the ami
NAL fortunately only passed
through his clothing without injur-
ing his person. Had it penetrated
the groin it would have inflicted a
very serious if not fatal wound. The
COW was finally got out and is now
once more safe in her old quarters
with forty feet Of rope attached to
her.

Social POwtDORed.

The last of the series of socials
given during the winter by the Fri
day Night Social Club, which was
to have taken place on the night Of
the 9Th inst, has been postponed
one week, owing to the fact that
Good Friday comes next week, and
many who are DESTROYS of attend
ing prefer to wait until after the
close of the Lentcn season, which
comes to an end next Saturday.
The social will take place on the
night of the 18th inst. A number
of parties from Bellevue and HALEY
have signified their intention of be-
ing present at the last of the series
which will be one of the most en-.
ioyable of the number given.

Spring-time has come again,
"Gentle Annie" The robins are
here and the blue birds are gayly
chirruping to themselves. The
blue water wagon is also on wheels
and going its daily rounds. Yes,
spring, sweet, balmy spring, is here.
Wild flowers are already being
gathered on the hillsides where the
snow has disappeared, and the
fresh blades of bunch-grass are
cropping out. Now will the good
house wife take upon herself the
strength of a young cyclone and
throw everything about the house
in a pile, while she scrubs, sweeps,
dusts, papers and scours and lays
her plans for the fall campaign. 1t
makes a man sick. He hires a
carpenter to fix a door and then
goes down town to attend to bust
ness. When he returns he finds
the wood butcher has prevailed up
on his wife to have the whole house
transformed. Then the house will
need a coat of paint, windows must
be recurtained and a hundred other
things make themselves manifest
i'm rapid succession. When hus-
band goes home to dinner he need
not be at all surprised if he finds
the table empty and is invited to
grab" at the remnants of the
mornings meal. He'll growl, but
will do it every time and hurry
away for fear of being pressed into
service. Man may think he is boss,
but there are a few days in the
year when he finds that the wife
reigns supreme.

Raising Alfalfa.

The growing of alfalfa for use as
stock provender will be far more
general this year in this vicinity
than heretofore. Alfalfa hay ap-
pears to be as good winter feed for
cattle and sheep rs can be secured
and they fatten rapidly on it. 1t is
estimated that a full grown steer
will consume ton Of alfalfa in two
months. In this climate two crops
can be secured during the season.
It will grow most anywhere, but
thrives best in rich sandy loan
Major Stewart, foreman ut the
smelling works will SOW a large
field this season, and others pro-
pose following the example.

The residents of Weiser, in this

over the statement made by the in

that its failure was due to losses OF
the branch store in that town.
While doing business at Weiser the
firm not only did a large, safe trade
but shared q fair dividend during
the four years it was engaged in
business there. Some excuse had
to be offered and it was laid at the
door of Weiser. The statement
made is denounced by people al
Weiser as entirely out of reason
and false.
